Moonta Memorial Gun 1914-1918

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

The 1914 – 1918 Moonta Memorial Gun is located within the grounds of the Moonta Visitor Information Centre in Blanche Terrace. The gun originally arrived in Moonta in 1919 by train and was placed at the Moonta War Memorial site, after several moves it fell into disrepair. In 2004 a committee was formed to raise funds to repair and display the gun. The restoration required over 3,000 man hours to complete. The dedication and formal opening of this display was held in February 2007. The display holds a fully restored 105 mm Light Field Howitzer used in WWI and a number of other articles with historical significance.
